I own a 2020 Ford Explorer Platinum edition. It has 32000 miles on it and the right front axle has worn out. Is this a typical problem or is it a bad part?

 

We could throw out just any kind of answer, but that wouldn't be very smart,, why?
If you drove only on beautiful roads with no bumps or potholes it could lean toward a part problem.

Where do you drive ? That s the curb side and many times the roughest part of a road..
Also what do you mean by the axle has worn out? There are many moving parts up there and if we could see just what you have , that would help a lot.

Is this what a shop has told you, if so, what was the problem that brought you there?

I drive in south Fl. The roads for the most part don't have pothokes to speak of. I don't drive up on curbs or sidewalks.
the car was on the lift and I physically inspected it myself. The car is 4 wheel drive. The front right hub is loose and is chattering like actin can full of rocks, and is leaking grease. The boot is not torn.

 

Sounds like just a bad wheel bearing. For some reason seems a common problem on other makes too.
